PRESERVE-JAR LIFTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 462,361, dated November3, 1891.

Application filed July 8. 1891. Serial No. 398,863 (No model.)

To otZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ROSALIE MILLER, a resident of New York, in thecounty and State of New York, have invented an Improved Preserve-JarLifter. of which the following is a specification, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective viewof my improved lifter, showing the same in position ready to receive thepreserve-jar. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same, showing it folded forstorage or shipment.

This invention relates to improvements in jar-lifters; and it consistsint-he new combination of parts constituting such a lifter, hereinaftermore fully specified, and pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings, the letter H represents a lower platform of circularform. I prefer to make this lower platform of wire and to construct itof an outer wire ring braced by innor cross-pieces I) b. This lowerplatform H is intended to support the bottom of the jar to be lifted. Atthe edges of this platform are projecting eyes ffff". Into these eyesare hooked the lower ends of the wire handles or uprights K K-that is tosay, the ends of the wire upright K are hooked into the eyes 7"f and theends of the wire upright K are hooked into the eyesf f. At a heightsomewhat below the top of the jar to be supported each of the uprights KK is formed into eyes a a a ct. Through these four eyes is passed a ringE. hen the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 1, they are ready toreceive a preserve-jar, which rests on the platform H and passes throughthe ring E, the upper ends of the handles or uprights K K constitutingmeans by which the jar can be easily lifted out of or lowered into thevessel within which the jar is to be heated. After the jar has beenremoved from the lifter the latter can be folded into a flat structure,as indicated in Fig. 2, the uprights K K folding one on top of theother, which is permitted by their hinges ff f" f, while the ring E alsofolds flat on the uprights, which is permitted by the eyes a a a d.

hat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination of the platform H, having eyes f f f f, with theuprights K K, whose lower ends are hinged to the said eyes, the saiduprights having at a distance above the platform H eyes a a a" a, andwith the ring E, which is passed through the said eyes a we" a,substantially as and for the purpose herein shown and described.
